"Draft [type of professional message – e.g., a follow-up email after a networking call, a LinkedIn connection request, a thank-you note to a reference]. Context: [your relationship and situation]. Tone: [professional / warm / formal]. Length: [brief / paragraph / short email]. Do not use generic phrases – make it specific to the context." The "specific to the context" instruction is critical – generic AI-drafted professional communications are visibly generic and hurt rather than help. Salary research with appropriate verification. "What are current salary ranges for [specific role] in [location]? What factors most affect compensation at this experience level?" Critical verification step: Always verify salary data against authoritative sources before using in negotiation: Meta AI's salary information may be outdated. Verify before negotiating. Career pivot research. "I am considering transitioning from [current field] to [target field]. Research: (1) What skills from my background transfer? (2) What new skills are most important to develop? (3) What entry points exist for someone with my background? (4) What do people who have made this transition typically say were the biggest challenges?" Use this as orientation research – then verify with current job posting analysis and ideally conversations with people who have made the transition. Maintaining your professional voice.
